Lyric timing

Word timings are machine-aligned to this recording and may need adjustment in repeated or unclear passages:

Before you play · Harmonic foundations

Try these by ear. Written examples below use original D major; example sounds follow your selected key and tuning. Sing them back, then imagine them before playing again.

Find home: D is scale degree 1 in this recording.
Feel Du–de: each macrobeat divides into two microbeats. The large boxes show macrobeats; their Du/de pulses show the smaller divisions. Follow the pulses ↑
Hear the primary functions: I = D–F♯–A (tonic/home), IV = G–B–D (subdominant/away), V = A–C♯–E (dominant/tension).
Hear the minor color: vi = B–D–F♯. B minor shares D and F♯ with tonic but gives the phrase a different landing.
Hear suspension: Dsus4 replaces F♯ with G. G resolving to F♯ changes suspended tonic to a clear major tonic.
Follow the bass and common notes: chord identity and bass position are different. Keep D while moving from D major to G major; notice the notes that stay and move.
